Our Carli is a Blessing - A Gift From Heaven Above

A WEE BIT OF HEAVEN DRIFTED DOWN FROM ABOVE

YOU LIGHT UP THE WORLD WITH YOUR SWEET BABY CHARMS

Thursday, May 31, 2012

While the whole family was together down in San Antonio, it made sense to celebrate all of our May birthdays. We had Ava on the 14th, Uncle Tone on the 15th, Grammy on the 22nd and Logan on the 24th. The kids decorated big cupcakes for all the birthday folks, plus one for Carli so she wouldn't feel left out. :)

Can you tell which one is Ava's? ﻿

It would be the one wiht some icing missing. :)

We had a "mini" party for Ava and she got to open her gifts from Grammy and Pa, some cards and a gift from Aunt Carolyn. The big kids thought it was a team effort to unwrap the presents. Carli is convinced that the play cupcakes from Aunt Carolyn were really given to Ava for the sole purpose of sharing with her! The wheel barrow and water shooters from Grammy and Pa are a new favorite toy.

After Ava's little party, Uncle Tone opened his graduation gifts and then turned the table and gave Mom and Dad an appreciation gift and letter. It was pretty cool. He made a picture collage of their wedding picture using smaller pictures of us kids. Hard to explain, but trust me it looked pretty cool.

We also gave Mom her Mother's Day/Birthday gift while we were in the gift giving spirit. We gave her a Spa Gift Card to use after she survives her last weeks of school. :)

Uncle Tone's birthday gifts were kind of rolled into his graduation gifts. But the kids were eager to show him his big cupcake they decorated for him. :)
